Have you started preparing the summer holidays? Have you already taken the flight? With the peak season, bookings in the trendy places run out quickly, so be careful! We must bear in mind that time is golden and that organizing leisure activities is essential to be profitable. In the whirlwind of these stressful issues we find each time we approach some holiday season. Some say it can also cause health problems.

Despite the fact that the issue seems to be insignificant, I have found many studies online and have opened the way for me to generate very interesting reflections with my friends and friends. Obviously, the ways of understanding leisure are very diverse, and over time there have also been changes. But there is something that is certain: change, leisure and management have always been linked to the time allocated to work, as stated by the professor and researcher at Brad Aeon University in Quebec. As if they were two sides of the same coin.

This subject, which we could call time management, has a profound philosophical reflection; since the time of Socrates in ancient Greece (or even before, who knows!) We've wondered about the duties of making sense and living at ease. And that necessarily puts at the center the key time of life. Limited time. The anecdotal presence of the word leisure in the evolution of human history can be a milestone in the generation of grandparents and grandmothers. In fact, they would have little free time between domestic work, care and agricultural labor. Perhaps some of the activities carried out today in free time were in the hands of a high-class society.

Today, to improve time management, that is, to do things better and faster, we can listen and read advice on techniques and notes everywhere. Many ideas are combined with efficiency and productivity, and although there are radical reflections, they are usually rare and superficial. We can also find many tips to maximize leisure time; we also live under the shadow of utilitarian thinking. On many occasions, moreover, the list of tasks that have been generalized makes our free time settle, that is, completing our experiential curriculum dazzles us sometimes. Instead of focusing on the pleasure of the moment, let's hang our profitable travels on social media. I think that on many occasions it also takes the form of a kind of competition.

In addition to productivity, some authors have talked about the commodification of leisure time. Economist Hammermesh, for example, states that the ability to buy and enjoy goods and services has increased faster than the time available to enjoy the latter. In fact, capitalism wants us to be consuming for sure, because contemplative life does not yet yield far too many benefits.

I suspect the challenge is to face radical reflections, really, to decide how you want to manage your time. And many times the fear of making that decision paralyzes us, or we spend the time of life looking away, following the tide of the environment. They say time is gold, money. But we all know that time, life, is the only thing you can't buy with money.
